Handling RuntimeExceptions in MDB

[Sachin Pandey]

Hi,        I want to know what's the best way of handling RuntimeExceptions in Message Driven Beans. Currently I have an MDB listening to a Queue. The acknowledgement mode is set to AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE. If the onMessage() throws a RuntimeException will the app server retry the delivery of the message. I guess that's what is happening currently with my application. If I catch the base class Exception it works fine. I am not sure if this is the right way to do it though?     Using JBoss 2.4.4 (JBossMQ). Thanks for any suggestions.   Sachin Pandey NUIX Pty Ltd Level 8, 143 York Street, Sydney 2000 Phone: (02) 92839010 Fax: (02) 92839020   Disclaimer: This message is intended only for the named recipient.
